Teaching Rails

The Rails community has a plethora of experienced, talented developers, who have contributed a great deal of advanced work to the ecosystem. As a group, however, we’ve lacked a consistent and welcoming approach for newcomers, be they programming newbies or people experienced in another technology.

In this BoF, we’ll get together and think about ways to improve that — we’d love to hear insights from educators using Rails in the classroom, authors, bloggers, forum and mailing list contributors, and anyone else interested in making the learning process easier and friendlier.
